If you are paying a lot for part you are either lazy or stupid. Just changed the fuel pump and sock. $23. New clutch? $32. All new brakes (rotors, pads, lines and calipers) was $150. Struts, $30 front $50 rear. I ended up liking this car so much I bought a parts car (All parts in good shape but rusty floors) and striped in down. May get rid of it after a few hundred thousand more miles. my67falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108137905142825422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652209542065289542.post-51777001117138819522017-04-28T21:07:17.324-04:002017-04-28T21:07:17.324-04:00I drive mine 150 miles a day to work and back. 32 ...I drive mine 150 miles a day to work and back. 32 mpg and dirt cheap to keep running.

As you stated, the Miata was what everyone wanted in this type of car and the Capri was not. Also, I can clearly remember at the 1991 (or 1990) NY Auto show where the Capri was to have been shown before going on sale, not being there for public viewing but still leaving the gaping maw of the display and empty rotating stand...and the flocks of people around the MiataMax Powernoreply@blogger.com
